Title: L-function for Sp(4)xGL(2) via a non-unique
model
Abstract:
The theory of L-functions of automorphic
forms or automorphic representations is a central
topic in modern number theory. A fruitful way to study
L-functions is through an integral formula, commonly
referred to as an integral representation. The
most common examples of Eulerian integrals are the
ones which unfold to a unique model such as the
Whittaker model. Integrals which unfold to non-unique
models fall outside of this paradigm, and there are
only a few such examples which are known to represent
L-functions. In this talk, we prove a conjecture of
Ginzburg and Soudry [IMRN, 2020] on an integral
representation for the tensor product partial
L-function for Sp(4)×GL(2) which is derived from the
generalized doubling method of Cai, Friedberg,
Ginzburg, and Kaplan. We show that the integral
unfolds to a non-unique model and analyze it using the
New Way method of Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis.
